Mind Parasites - Colin Wilson
In Colin Wilison's classic The Mind Parasites scientists discover that alien parasites have infiltrated the minds of humans, creating self-doubt, depression, anxiety, and robbing humans of their powerful, innate creative abilities. The search to understand and destroy these aliens is a dangerous one, driving insane almost all who attempt it. I don't know why this book is out of print. It's a classic. The spookiest thing is that the symptoms described for alien occupation of one's mind are emotions that we all have, and are the thoughts and ideas that keep us from stepping into our own power. What if there are alien beings taking up residence in our unconscious? Trippy, great science fiction book. Used copies are hard to find. Here's a review that goes more into the Heidegger philosophy behind the book. And here is a transcript of an interview with Colin Wilson. Here's more info from Amazon.com and how to get used copies...
